Wizards taking it up to the Heat,up by 4 with 2 1/2 mins remaining,despite a triple double from Le Bron.

He had a triple double but missed two crucial free throws in the clutch. Nothing has changed there.

Great result for the Wiz.

Indy handling the Bulls easily at the moment.

OKC by 4 in a high scoring game in Brooklyn!

Bulls/Indy looks like going right to the wire.

Maybe another upset on the cards in Memphis.Suns up 84-80.

looks like howards free throws down teh stretch could cost LA the game again.

im only following play by play but seems that houstan are fouling him every chance they get at end?

[RoosterMarty]

Bulls lose.

Nate Robinson is a ******* idiot. Did some good things in the 4th but then chucks up some 3s from almost halfway and throws an alley oop pass miles over Noah's head.

At least Rose is doing sprints now, only another two months until he's back.

I don't understand why Howard is even on the court at the end, he should be benched because teams know they can just foul him and send him to the line where he is lucky to make 1/2. It also stops the clock too. MDA needs to sit him.

New Orleans changing their name from Hornets to Pelicans next year!

With new ownership, the New Orleans Hornets will also be undergoing a makeover. The team is changing its name to the Pelicans, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports. A name change had been rumored since Saints owner Tom Benson bought the team in April. Benson owns the Pelicans name, which had been used in New Orleans from 1887-1977 by various minor league baseball teams. The name change could take place for the 2013-14 season.

I just watched his presser.

Has no intention of doing that. Apparently people who think he should sit are idiots

Ahh Nate Robinson again proves by he has been shipped around so much in the last couple of years, why do most NBA played think that they can just jack up shots from anywhere and they will go in, ******* frustrating.

I miss our old team even without Derrick

[Johno6]

yeah MDA said he wont sit howard, and they shouldnt let it get into that situation etc
howard isnt happy saying he isnt getting covered on D

im expecting a 11+ point win tomorrow

bench needs to do something again tho

The end of the Cats-Knicks game was like watching a game of NBL. It's as if neither team wanted to win. Then JR hits a very tough shot and wins the game.

Knicks shot like complete porridge today.

13-41 from 3!

Melo also sliced his finger open but it shouldn't keep him out for any games I wouldn't think.

[Jim05]

Knicks squeak past the Cats 100-98
JR with with winner on the buzzer
Lucky to get out of jail, trailed by 6 late in the last on the back of some terrible shooting.
Melo was 7/9 early and then missed 10 consecutive FGA's.
1st leg of a 3 game road trip with the Heat tomorrow and Bulls after that

[RoosterMarty]

Comfortable win for the Bulls, got off to a flier and never looked like losing the game really. Belinelli had his best game as a Bull by some distance.

[Oz]

Those Cats just can't win the close ones of late.

A good day for Utahs Al Jefferson 31pts 15rbds in the Jazz 87-81 win over Orlando.

All games look like going to script today.

Kobe hits 30,000 points putting him in elite company. Awesome career!!

Kobe hits 30,000 points putting him in elite company. Awesome career!!

Youngest player to reach the mark, no college helped there I guess.

Metta also reached 12k points.

Metta World Peace crossed the 12,000-point milestone Wednesday at New Orleans. He's the 6th player in NBA history with at least 12,000 points, 4,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals and 1,000 3-pointers made (Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Reggie Miller, Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce).

[Jim05]

Bit disappointed that the Knicks v Heat isnt on TV tomorrow.
Melo only a 50/50 to play, 5 stitches in his finger after diving into the crowd. Has definately had a massive change of attitude in last 6 months, has really picked up his defensive work and efforts like today although appearing foolish shows the comittment he has for the team.
Really need the whole side to step up tomorrow, massive game

but took him the most games to get there, the way hes going would still need another 4 or 5 full seasons to pass Kareem, i cant see his body holding up that long. Great career and player even if a knob. only behind Kareem, malone, jordan and Wilt now.

No doubt his defence has improved but what happens when Stoudamaire comes back? Heat will win

Yes will be interesting to see what happens when Amare returns, still a few weeks aways I believe.
Heat should win comfortably, our form on the road isnt great, just hope we have a decent crack and dont get blown away
